The group broke up in 1995, with the ex-members going on to record other music independently. Pat MacDonald moved to Barcelona and recorded several albums for Ulftone, a Germanindie label (Sleeps With his Guitar,Begging Her Graces,Degrees of Gone,In the Red Room (a live album) and Strange Love: PM does DM, a collection of Depeche Modecovers). Of those, only Sleeps With His Guitar was released in the U.S. His 2007 effort, Troubadour of Stomp on the Broken Halo label, was his first U.S. release since 1997.

Barbara K. MacDonald has released two albums: Ready, and Undercover which is a set of acoustic covers of Timbuk3 songs. She is currently[when?] working as part of Sparrow's Wheel, an Austin label for independent music, and a new group, Ghosts and Sparrows.

As of mid-2012, the first six Timbuk3 albums were not available on physical media in the United States, although all but the last were available from download services. A live CD, Espace Ornano can be purchased from the band's official website.
